It must have been pretty frustrating for Noah to invite all to get in the ark and to have them ignore his counsel. I’m so grateful for a modern-day Noah who is not only inviting us to do the same thing, but asking us to “flood the earth” with messages of goodness in hopes that they will choose to get in the ark and choose to stay.
The Lord asked Noah to build an ark. I can only imagine the questions, concerns, doubts that Noah had along the way in the building process. There are more than a few lessons for us here as we are preparing for the “floods” of life.
I imagine that the account of the flood could really scare a lot of people into obeying God out of fear. But if you remember the Lord’s work and glory, then the flood could be viewed as one of the most merciful acts from a loving God.
How wicked were the people in Noah’s day? It’s kind of sobering to see how similar they were to the things going on in our day.
As long as the Lord has had a people on the earth, his goal has been to gather them and establish Zion. He did it for Enoch and his city, he wanted to do it with the early Saints, and would also love to do it with us...as we LET GOD PREVAIL.
In our world where “men’s hearts (are) failing them, (as they are) looking forth with fear”, let’s be the ones who are sweeping the earth with a flood of righteousness and providing hope to those failing hearts. 😇
We have a God who weeps for us and with us! What a wonderful doctrine! Perhaps that is what makes him such an amazing “Man of Counsel”. 🙏🏻 If
Through Enoch, the Lord was able to create a Zion people. 😀. Sometimes when we read scriptural accounts, we forget that this all didn’t happen in a couple of days. The phrase “in process of time“ means everything when you are trying to build something God-like.
In order for Enoch to build Zion, he had to change the way he viewed the people around him. Once we do that, miracles can happen! 👀
